Italian Referendum on Nuclear Power Growth, 2011
The Italian Referendum on Nuclear Power Growth was on the ballot in Italy in June 2011. It was approved.
This issue was brought forth by a petition submitted in January 2011, but after the nuclear issues in Japan, the question was put on hold in March. The measure was designed to repeal laws that would have allowed the growth and development of nuclear power in the country. The Italian Supreme Court ruled in June that the question will be allowed on the June ballot.[1][2]
In order for the vote to be valid, there had to be at least a 51 percent voter turnout, of those eligible to vote, a goal that had not been reached in previous votes since 1995. Voter turnout was 54.79 percent.[3]
